Skullgirls Is Getting A Third New Character

Skullgirls has reached over $600,000 in funds on IndieGoGo, meaning that the game is going to get up to three new characters in the future.

Two of these characters are set in stone—Squigly and Big Band. The third character will be one of several possible characters and be selected by fan vote. Anyone who has contributed at least $1 to the game’s fundraiser is eligible for voting. You can read up on the voting process here.

There are still 55 hours to go before Skullgirls’ fundraiser comes to an end, so it should be interesting to see if people continue to contribute, now that the third character has been funded.

With the team nudging the community so hard in favor of like 5 or so of them, most of them don’t even have a chance.

Aeon and B.Dahlia are my current picks.

I like Aeon and Taliesin! I can’t believe that they actually made it to their goal. That must mean that this game is pretty good. I will definitely think about getting this. I would put money on the fund raiser, but I would rather get a copy of the PS3 version than the PC.

I think the more pressing question besides if the third character will get a story mode is if Mane6 is going to get the Z Engine free of charge. I say keep donating peoples. Also VOTE FOR BEOWULF, HE IS BEST CHARACTER BECAUSE FOLDING CHAIRS AND KAN– /is shot

Seriously though, Annie, Feng, Beowulf, or Isaac to get in as the third character for the current game.

And so it begins…

how its gone so far, I have no doubts that the comunity will continue to support this movement for as long as they have the chance.
One last push for a new story mode for the community character~!

What if the designs aren’t all characters but are assist only like the ones in the original Marvel vs Capcom? I’m leaning towards Umbrella because I believe she was supposed to be released at launch with Squiggly. Just think that it would be too much if all these characters were playable. Venus though seems like the type I’d use.

You know that sounds like a great idea to have some of these assist only.

Well, also B. Dahlia was already in the game. If you play as Double you’ll see B. Dahlia in one of her attack formations. Meaning they may already have animations for her and a bigger story arc since she, after Marie, is kind of one of the main antagonists in the game.

I’m torn between B. Dahlia and Venus, it’s one of the hardest decisions I could make. ;__;

Aaawww man. They did it, and it’s looking like they’ll snag an actual story-mode for the mystery character too. This is… this is badass. So very, very badass. Now all I hope is that they at the very least get enough cash to rent out the engine to the Mane6 team, because I am not sure I dare dream they reach enough cash to get a SECOND character in. That is just too far beyond my expectations, really. But if they could…

Also, Isaac, Roxie or Schythana. Because of reasons.

Victory! Come onnnn Feng!

Somebody vote Stanley for me. I don’t have the game, but I love the support it’s getting.
Shark in a labcoat just sounds awesome to me. Plus it’s another dude.

First round will be 3 votes per contributor I think, but I will vote Stanley without doubt

JustThisOne

Just so you know, even $1 donations count. So… if you really want to vote but don’t feel like dishing it out, even just a buck will do.

In fact, if you check the site, there’s loads of $1 contributions right now. xD Everyone just wants to vote.

Also, keep donating for Mane 6 as well! If the donation pool reaches 720k they’ll give Mane 6 their fighting engine. I’m not a brony, and I know they’re not making a pony fighter anymore. But, Lauren Faust said she’s doing the character designs and animation with the team and you can never go wrong with that.
